That was an excellent one.

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

best movie i've ever seen.

warning spoiler alert... even though the title says it all :) At first thought I wondered how are they going to pull it off. It really does sound Boring. But after watching the first episode I was hooked. I guess it didn't hurt I like all the actors and they all did such a great job and the writers did a outstanding job on the script.This is almost like watching my family. I think there is one in every family that allows their kids to get away with everything. And the breast feeding lol thank goodness not in my family but I have seen this and in public. Not for me thank You. I think Harry just did what most of us would like to do with children like this :) Not that I am condoning to ever hit another persons child. But there were times when I felt like it. The story is around The Slap but it is much more than that. One episode left for me to watch. Win Lose or draw... I think everyone is going to lose on this one. If you are on the fence on watching The Slap. Try it you'll like it!!

I'm only half way through second episode and I'm in shock over Melissa George's character. She sits nursing a grown child who is obviously so ridiculously spoiled that virtually every thing he does is just darling in her eyes and he does no wrong. He is able to be rude and disruptive in addition to purposefully damaging the hosts property and his behavior is never corrected other than for her to shove her boob in his face and stroke his hair. One sick twisted mother there.Everyone attending that birthday party wanted to slap the child. I would rather slap the parents, the mother for obvious reasons and her husband for blindly going along with anything she says. The mother has some very serious emotional problems that leave her raging irrationally herself at the very idea someone put his hands on her child. He needs some serious behavior adjusting and learning consequences of his actions. I would have so much sympathy for an educator getting stuck with such a child in her class. It would shake the child's world to the core to be in a situation where 2 dozen other children are loved by their parents and have just as much right to be there and participate as he does. There would be a meltdown on day one of preschool which would have Melissa George's character charging in, bra-less, ready to get freaky with her child again.As for Harry, he could have gone in there on Valium and humbly offered apology and would have been met with the same disdain and "how dare you" attitude from Rosie and Gary because they have no intention of letting it go because they are out for blood from him.There will be no winners in this series. And its all because of a spoiled rotten child being allowed or rather encouraged by his parents to be as bratty as he wishes because it gives them a chance to coddle and baby him, because they are sick and need to attend parenting classes.Its not like me to jump on a soapbox but as soon as I saw a child with a mouth full of teeth sucking on the breast and turning away only to sneer and say something rude to an adult with no interception from either parent, my back was up right along with Harry's. I cannot believe there is a judge who would convict him of anything with regards to what occurred at the BBQ.

While the title (and premise) of the series do come off as comical, The Slap is daring to take Network TV viewers to a place where we question our choices and our way of thinking. One small decision can spiral into a massive event that drastically changes everyone's lives around us. We have no idea what personal issues another person may be dealing with, or how we may affect them. What each episode of this compelling miniseries forces us to do is confront a different controversial issue in today's society, and decide what we believe is right. Some people may argue that these characters are cliché and melodramatic. But the truth is, we all know people exactly like them, and we are guaranteed to confront some of these issues within our own lives. When these events occur, there's no predicting how another person will behave. The Slap is a guidebook to show how we should react, when others don't know how. We need to set the example, to prevent the disasters which happen in this series. Society still has a long way to go. But by watching this series, we may gain some insight into being better people and caring neighbors.This series may not have been as compelling or dramatic as the original, but it did bring a fresh take on an event that brought very different outcomes.

The brattily misbehaving child that gets slapped is only the tip of the iceberg in this plethora of inconsiderate, rude, prejudiced and generally unlikeable people.The main character is infatuated by his (too young to legally have a beer) baby sitter, who compounds the problem by showing up to his birthday party - an inappropriate choice in an even more inappropriate relationship. The mother who brings piles of food and comments on how the Jews do it (Dessert? Something in boxes at any rate) so much better, and who converses with her family members in Greek in front of everyone. The friends who raise this abominable child and seem to feel that allowing him to do anything he wants is appropriate lest they stifle his self-expression. The cousin who shows up in a Land Rover and is worried about it being "jacked" in this neighbourhood.There are other, more peripheral characters that I haven't yet come to know in any depth, but somehow I doubt that to know them will lead me to love them.
